What Inspires You?

Firstly think about what inspires you, what brings you happiness and makes you feel good? As we are all different, the answer to that only lies inside of you.

We all have those days (or weeks, or months) when we feel like we’re just going through the motions. Everything seems a bit grey, underwhelming, and uninspiring. If you’re feeling stuck in a rut, here are some ideas to connect to your spirit and your soul.

1. Connect with People
It can be good to voice things we’re thinking about. Maybe a struggle or challenge we’re experiencing, or a new direction we are contemplating. Put your trust in your friends and family and let them know how you are feeling.

2. Get Moving
One of the best things you can do is to get your body moving. Physical movement can help jump start our positive energy. And by not looking directly at the problem, our subconscious mind can untangle our thoughts and give us some clarity and focus. Plus, being in nature has been proven to calm and rejuvenate us.

3. Unplug from Noise
The constant stream of social media and news is almost inescapable, but it’s important to take breaks and unplug from time to time to open space for inspiration. This can be especially beneficial if you are highly sensitive as constant noise and stimulation can be overwhelming.

4. Learn Something New
We often get stuck in knowledge ruts, forgetting how much there is to explore. By opening ourselves up to new possibilities, we can jump-start our curiosity and creative spirit. You may also realise how much more capable you are in learning something new. 

5. Give Yourself Permission To Play
Inspiration doesn’t just come from other people, places, and things. You can generate inspiration through our own actions and habits, too. A big source of this kind of inspiration is play. When you allow yourself to play, you open up to different parts of your brain. This can help you come up with new ideas, see things in a different light. Remember to have fun as It’s good for the mind, body, and soul!

You can open the door to inspiration in everyday life, especially once you are aware of what is impacting you right now. It’s not always easy to notice what’s going on within though. It requires you to notice what you are noticing, so that you can respond in appropriate and healthy ways.

I hope that has been helpful in some way, The reason I write my blog is to inspire you and to help you on this journey of life.
